\n\tSince opening in Las Vegas in September 2023, the 360-foot-plus tall venue the Sphere has become an instant iconic Vegas structure. Artists including U2, the Eagles and Dead & Company have played the 18,600-capacity venue, which has become known for its immersive live entertainment video and audio experience, including a wraparound interior LED screen, its LED exterior and 4D effects.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow, some music fans are speculating that eight-time entertainer of the year winner (four times each for CMAs and ACMs) and mainstay stadium headliner Kenny Chesney <\/a>is the next artist slated to play the Sphere.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s because on Wednesday (Jan. 15), the Sphere posted a video<\/a> on its social media pages showing the iconic venue lit up with a video that showed ocean waters receding to show a weathered blue chair nestled on an idyllic island beach, and later, an acoustic guitar and a cowboy hat. The social media post from the Sphere was accompanied by a side-eyes emoji.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was waiting for Kenny Chesney to appear in his \u201cold blue chair,\u201d one person commented on the Sphere\u2019s Instagram post. Added another, \u201cKenny!!! This is going to be a good show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA rep for Chesney declined to respond to Billboard<\/em>\u2018s request for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe image of an old blue chair has long been associated with East Tennessee native Chesney, who has made island imagery an essential part of his brand. More than two decades ago, Chesney recorded the song \u201cOld Blue Chair\u201d as the concluding song on his 2004 album When the Sun Goes Down<\/em>. The following year, he released the album Be As You Are (Songs From an Old Blue Chair)<\/em>. The album\u2019s cover featured Chesney seated on a beach, leaning back on an old, weathered blue chair. Chesney also launched his line of Blue Chair Bay rum in 2013. In 2014, he also recorded the song \u201cChristmas in Blue Chair Bay.\u201d Throughout the past several years, numerous promotional videos and photos have featured Chesney and his signature \u201cold blue chair.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, Chesney is set to make an unknown announcement on Thursday, Jan. 16, during a visit to TODAY<\/em> during the 8 a.m. hour. That same day, he will appear on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have always been one to let the music do the talking,\u201d Chesney said in a recent press statement announcing his upcoming television appearances. \u201cThis year is going to be unlike any other. This is one time when I probably do need to get out and explain exactly what we\u2019re up to. But for now, I can say this: I am incredibly ramped up about what we\u2019re in the middle of making happen for 2025. It\u2019s one of those things where you can\u2019t just throw it out there \u2013 so I am really glad we\u2019re getting to spend some time at TODAY<\/em>, then The Tonight Show<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
